I've been using cheapo clearomizers from the gas station (not many options where I live) but cleaning them isn't easy, they don't end up tasting great afterwards and vapor isn't great either. The battery I have is a 650 mah 24-7 brand. I'm new to vaping but having realized I love it and don't want a normal cigarette when I vape, I'm ready to get something better. Can I use the batteries I already have and just get a nice tank? I can't figure out what thread is on my battery. Or even if a 650 mah is what I even need. So, do I use what batteries I've got and get a better tank? Do I just spend more and get a kit? I'd hate to waste what I've already bought! Anyone know a good brand that's decent price? I think I know what I need.... a nice clearomizer or tank that I can replace coils and everything in right? Man I get confused with this stuff a little still. Ugh. Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!
please help

650 mAh isn't a whole lot of battery power.
For about 20-30 bucks you can get a nice, new starter kit. The gas station quality ones are usually Chinese knockoffs, and aren't really meant to be washed/re-used extensively. The coils don't last long (and often aren't replaceable), and usually aren't that great from the start.
I highly recommend looking into getting something like an eGo Twist with something like a mini protank. It'll be a SERIOUS upgrade from gas station quality e-cigs.

Something like this kit would be a great start and also something you could grow with. It will accept most tanks avalible. Innokin iTaste MVP V2.0 - 101 Vape Gas station devices are what turned me away so if it were me I'd opt for a new kit.
Your battery appears to have 510 and Ego threads. You could get a new better kit, but if you like the way the CE4 style clearo works you could just get a CE5 which has replaceable coil heads. There are quite a few clearos/tanks with 510/ego threads and replaceable coil heads you could get though. I'll leave others give suggestions, I'm not sure what's all out there now.
My suggestion would be an mvp2 they are great for beginners with either a aero tank mega or aspire nautalis as a topper for both its like 60-70 at 101 vape . Com
Thanks, I've been looking into a new kit. The mini pro tank, I've been looking at those also. I've been spending so much just on clearomizers when they stop working lol. Figured a new and better set up was really what I needed. So questions , getting a tank like the mini pro
IF you want a small battery/mod go for the Eleaf iStick, there is a big thread on them in another section. I got one last week, great battery with 510 connector, and it came with a 510 to ego so I can use my protanks or my T3s
Hit the reply button before I was finished lol. Anyway, the tank, I can just clean it out and replace the coils and such when it needs it rite?
Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on making a move away from the smokes!
I'm new here myself, so my input is to be taken lightly.
Move away from the 'gas station' stuff and get a real starter kit through the internet or a specialty shop in your area. There are lots of them in the $50 range that will give you a good experience when combined with quality juice. That will help you stay away from the smokes while you figure out if you want to jump into vaping with both feet.
I started 3 months ago with a basic ego kit: 2 batteries, 2 tanks, and a charger. I found a juice that worked for me and haven't had a smoke since. I got an Innokin Mvp2 just a few days ago because the ego batteries were getting weak, and I've found some great juices in the meantime.
Hope this helps.

Not sure who you're asking, but in case it's me, yes, that's how a CE5 or equivalent works.

Oh, I see now. Vape isn't the only thing I'm new at lol. I'm on a tablet and those Lil buttons don't say what they are lol. Thanks.
I can't comment much on all the tanks out there, but i did recently have the opportunity to beta test this tank before it went on the market and it works great. SmokeStik ULTRA Tank - SmokeStik Ultra Here's the coil heads also, they rebuild rather easily to , if you might want to try that to save a little money on replacements. http://www.smokestikultra.com/products/SmokeStik-ULTRA-Replacement-Coils-(3-Pack).html
Yep! ProTank (including the mini) coils are pretty cheap, and the tank is glass. You can just pop it open, unscrew the head (coil) and then toss that grimy old coil in the garbage. Then it's just a matter of rinsing it all off with some water, dry it off, fill 'er up, replace the coil and BAM! Good as new!
The mini protank is definitely a good choice, but make sure you get the one with the adjustable airflow control. The older versions are kind of meh, and you will have a harder time finding replacement coils for the older versions.
Since you're connected to the internet and can receive packages via mail, you have all the options you will ever need.
If you think you are going to stick with vaping save yourself some money and get an MVP. Keep your current battery for a back up. A Mini Protank 2 is a good little tank. You're right, you can replace the coils about once a week when they start degrading.
+ on the MVP.
It is now my recomended choice for any new vapor just starting or one wanting to upgrade. It will take you a long ways on your walk. Can be had for around $40 for the kit, comes with a iclear 30 tank or multiple iClear16 Clearomizers, either will one be an upgrade from what you are currently using.
Plus if you phone ever dies you can charge from your mvp if you can't get to a charger currently
just one little used side benifit.
May seem like allot but will save you even more in little used/thrown out equipment in the long run if you continue vaping.
Just my 2cents.

Im also relatively new and from what i gather most tanks seem to come with a 510 thread which is what most batteries have.
Just a matter of knowing the thread your tank/clearomizer has and the thread your battery has - Most ego batteries i think have a 510 and ego thread.
I use a nautilus tank and bvc's that i change. Someone else i know uses disposable ce4 clearmosiers. Most of what i read suggests the variable voltage batteries are the way to go
So, here's an update.... I ended up getting an EMOW Mega today I love it so far! Went ahead and just bought the kit, evodd vv 1600 mah and even picked up some new juice. They were sold out of the mvp. But it's cool, I'll go back and pick it up soon. Lol. I'm new with vaping but already in love!!! Found a vape shop close to home..... woohoo!!!!
